Its has being quite a few weeks in Video game news and releases lets run down whats been going on.

Aliens colonial marines came out and With that The whole of the Internet showed there disappointment by moaning about it, Is It just me or do people expect way to much from video games now days, Granted I am from a school of people who played rise of the robots on mega drive using emotional gymnastics to convince our self that the 3 seconds of full motion video and life like graphics was worth the torment of actually playing the game
As far as I am concerned if a game gos as far as making full 3D recreations of sets from the movie universe its based on and can get the sound of a pulse rifle right, Then it must be worth playing, and then trading it in for dead space 3 and playing that, and then selling dead space for £30, all in all getting to play 2 current games and only spending £7.99, Isn't the pre-owned market great or what.


Here is a Bunch of crowney's that don't think the pre-owned market is great at all and plan to destroy it, Sony and there revealed PS4, An 8gb of ram mega console, that will be and is already obsolete compared to any respectable modern day P.C build, They did say it will still be a disc based System, Throw in the Rumored Disc tagging, So now not only do you have to put up with online codes, Limited installs, They mark each disc to one console, Every one is going to have a lot of coasters in the future, one more thing worthy of note from Sony's unveiling early in the week, They have knocked backwards compatibility on the head, So buying all your old games of the PSN shop will be a blast, squeezing every last penny out of your new console fund so when you do finally get your hand on a PS4 you will have to buy Asphalt 8 because its the cheapest out of all the launch titles, because sony have sapped all your money away with all sorts of peripherals, you'll end up buying a second controller for £100 only to relies non of the games have  
couch co op, So you'll end up mindlessly thumbing though all the settings on the flashy twat-dazzling new touch pad tell you are slowly driven insane...

Yeah so I will look forward to buying one of these in 3 years time pre-owned.

Resident Evil 1.5 Had a some what playable release this week, due to some guy trying to make money off the leaked copy of this semi complete project, so the guy's trying to bring a fully playable version released what they have done so far to stop people making money of this non profit project. All you need to play this is a P.S one emulator and the game. Really is awesome to see what Resident evil 2 could of ended up like links to the ISO of Resident evil 1.5 here.


Lots of stuff about this week on the thrift, Lots of seemingly good deals, than upon closer inspection, more Coasters

Civ 5 is £4 trade £3, But CEX sell it for £12 so £2.99 to buy is still a great deal, But the pisser is you can't Trade civ 5 i unless its sealed up, The reason for this is its linked to a steam account as soon as you install it so games like this in charity shops are just Drinks Coasters. really want to play a Civ game now too.



Had to pass up on these two, Star wars battlefront 2 is a good seller but the disc was to beat up, and Final Fantasy X-2, Well if something is covered in brown shit don't buy it, Top tip!




Well Looks like I mite get to play some Civ after all.
Civilization: Revolution, £3.99 Elder scrolls III morrowind £1.99 (P.C), and capcom classics vol 1 and 2. £1 each

The is mass effect 3 at the top that was £9.99 about £3 under the going rate, not quite thrifty but hay.


  
Best find of the day and £5 profile in there if i want to sell it for the cash at CEX.
The copy of morrowind was really tidy as well, Not sure its worth the money the xbox version is but its a nice looking item all the map and guff is still in the box just hope I can Get the 2002 looking Gamestation sticker off it.
